Needed the second nudge to remind me that I was already doing the right thing but needed to keep at it. Very spiffy indeed, thanks.

Castle stormed… where’s the mead??
Really enjoyed this one (prolly because I saw it pretty quickly, despite its cleverness). Keep ‘em coming, Benchen!!

Nudge #3 launched me.
Saw this at Urquhart Castle several years ago.
Never would have guessed then that it would come in so handy today.
Thank you, Ben, for another high-flyin' puzzle.

Nudged across the moat. Fun one, and informational too. Thanks!High five! (at a Halloween celebration at a nearby museum yesterday)

I'm happy I knew 38-A right away, but I haven't read any of her works (I hear they're pretty avant-garde).
Got the meta! Grid in 4 minutes, meta in another 3 or 4 or so. Fun and smooth, thanks Ben!

Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

Here's the solution to "High Fives":
This one turned out to be a lot easier than a "week 4". Perhaps tomorrow's Halloween "week 5" will make up for that!
